ChatGPT is very much in the news these days as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has made a statement regarding ChatGPT, which has shocked its users. As a matter of fact, in a podcast, he has explicitly mentioned that too much faith is being put in this AI tool, while it shouldn't be so trustworthy. In the same podcast, Altman further mentioned that ChatGPT has a lot of features, but still, it is committing a lot of errors.

In a podcast with technologist Andrew Main, Altman said that people trust ChatGPT too much, while AI 'hallucinates'. This is an AI tool that should not be trusted too much. Altman has also said that one of the weaknesses of large language models is that they sometimes make factual mistakes. Altman has also said that users should be as careful while using technology like ChatGPT as they are while using any new technology.

Sam Altman has also said that in the future, OpenAI can think about bringing monetization models like transaction fees or limited ads in ChatGPT, but if the company starts changing the results of LLM to earn money, then it will be a moment that destroys trust. Altman said that I myself will never tolerate this as a user.

Previously, Altman had also agreed that after the GPT-4o update, ChatGPT had gotten more obsequious and irritating than they needed to be. In reality, in this update, efforts have been made to further enhance the wit and personality of AI, but the outcome has been that ChatGPT has begun responding 'yes' to all questions.
